About this episode

Anika Goyal explores the depth and complexity of creative friendships and the impact of supportive relationships in the creative process.

This episode started as a question about loneliness and became something closer to a love letter. We're talking about creative friendships: the depth of them, the complexity of them, and the specific kind of magic that happens when someone who truly gets it walks beside you. We cover comparison, collaboration, and how to be the kind of friend you actually want to have. And somewhere in the middle, I stop and talk about six people who have changed the shape of my creative life. Bring a cup of something warm. This one lingers. Stay tuned for new episodes every week!
